Heather Leibowitz had an editorial published in Newsday on the critical need for New York's leaders to support the EPA's rule to limit carbon pollution.

"The EPA's action to limit carbon could be a big launchpad for an even bigger effort to reduce the carbon pollution fueling global warming. Now it's up to our leaders, including New York's Democratic Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Charles Schumer, to make our actions as bold as possible. The rhino is charging. It is time to act."

Heather Leibowitz, director of Environment New York, had an editorial published on the need to close loopholes in the Clean Water Act and protect our waterways.

"New York's small business owners, fishermen, farmers, scientists, local elected officials and families are counting on the EPA to move forward and close the loopholes in the Clean Water Act now," she writes.
